The Columbia County Youth Fishing Team, just 7 months old, received a welcome booster shot when 18-year-old Tyler Matthews won the Georgia Bass Federation Youth Top Six in his age division on West Point Lake on March 15.

Matthews weighed in a five-bass limit totaling 12.87 pounds, including a 5.89-pounder, for the 15-to 18-year-old title on the lake along the Chattahoochee River on the Georgia-Ala­bama line.

It was a good day for the Lakeside High School Panthers at the Nike Panther Relays at Starr’s Mill High School on Saturday.

On a day when rain washed away most meets county teams were scheduled to participate in, the Lakeside girls team, currently ranked seventh in Georgia High School Association Class AAAAA, finished 11th out of 27 teams while the boys placed 20th.

By spring break, Evans High School might be home to a hockey national champion.

Jennifer Maier, a 16-year-old sophomore at the school, is in Amherst, N.Y., today through Sunday competing with the Lady Vipers U19 girls hockey team in the 2014 USA Hockey Nationals. The Lady Vipers earned the spot after winning the 2014 Southeastern District on March 1.

Maier, the Lady Vipers’ center, was excited the team’s season was continuing. She played a key role in making that happen.

For the average golfer, the numbers are similar. The odds of making a hole-in-one are 13,000-to-1, compared to nearly 6 million-to-1 for a double eagle. In an average year there are approximately 40,000 aces, and just a couple of hundred double eagles.

Augusta Preparatory Day School’s Nate Pylant describes his final year as a roller coaster, one that has seen a number of highs and lows.

A three-sport athlete, Pylant started the year rushing for 845 yards and 12 touchdowns as quarterback on the Cavaliers’ 11-1 football team that won the Glory for Christ state championship. When the Cavaliers won the state title it wasn’t Pylant under center, however, having dislocated his elbow in practice two days before the game.
